  1. I'm sure she's just saying this because it's easier than proposing a better solution, but that doesn't get around the validity of her comment, even if it's not why she said it. Bush got us into this mess, and morally, it should be his responsibility to get us out of it. Realistically, he doesn't have any great options in front of him. Realistically, I can't see him showing any more concern for his successors on this subject than he does our future populace with regard to the deficit and environment. Fuck the future, it's all about now. That's what I see his attitude as being, across a variety of subjects. And I would characterize myself as more of an independent than democrat, but I don't think we should have gone into Iraq in the first place.

  2. Why would that be nice? Because you're an independent contractor? Being your own boss has benefits and detriments. If you think the detriment is unfair, you can always go get a regular job. Tax-free medical insurance is part of my compensation package. Why would you want me to lose some of my pay? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  3. Actually, the ~$700/month was just for me, not including my daughter. I didn't end up using it, so her and I were uninsured for about 10 days before I got another job...luckily neither of us got seriously injured during that time. I kind of suspected the rest of what you posted (that cheap privately purchased insurance doesn't cover nearly as well as employer-subsidized.) Blue, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

  4. This is wrong on so many levels Peter... You only say that because you wish that it was you getting the pictures. Rest assured he'll be doing the [right click][save as] thing as soon as they're posted. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  5. I didn't realize privately purchased health insurance was so cheap. I'm paying $170/month for my daughter's and my medical coverage (more for dental, accidental death & dismemberment, and short-term disability). Seems reasonable, but that's through my "real" employer (being my own employer on the weekends.) I'd have guessed privately purchasing such insurance would run me a LOT more. When I was between jobs and looking at COBRA, I think it was over $700/month. The current tax change proposed by Bush has resulted in a bit of media focus on medical insurance costs...CNN ran an article that said the average policy costs around $11,400/year (most of that payed by the employers).

  6. I've been meaning to read it for a couple of years now. My queu right now is a few books deep, probably for similar reasons as your's, but I'm still gonna get to it. Good to hear several other people on here liked it too. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

  10. I want that!!! Forget the jumpsuit. I'm having dinner with Lee and Brad (today's Lee's birthday) and Bill is on his way here. George is checking on a kitchen pass for later, you up for drinks? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  11. I don't make many claims of normality. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

  13. I've only seen this 47 times via email, text message, myspace, and here. But never before have I gone to the trouble to look up the name of the street I lived on. Google Maps show the house is still there, and my porn star name is David Macadam. That's nutty. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

    Mullets?

    Ha ha! I've seen Roy with hair that looks almost exactly like the minitruckmullet, AND he drove a minitruck the first several years I knew him (now it's a rice car ). On a related note, I am ashamed to admit I used to have the mullhawk (though "punk as fuck" is pretty funny) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
  22. We've also got an inversion going, so it shouldn't be too bad at altitude (I hope!) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
